Craig's opinion may be reconciled with the Lords' decision thus: For when the retour containeth a liquid silver-duty, all the bygones thereof must be paid before the superior be obliged to infeft his vassal, as in the decision mentioned, Earl of Wigton against the Lord Yester; but, where the duty is not constituted, nor liquid, as in ward-lands, it is not reason to hinder the superior to enter the vassal, because he is not paid of the non-entry duties subsequent to the ward, but he must pursue for it by way of action, as was found betwixt Marion Peebles and my Lord Ross.
